BACH Une cantate imaginaire Nathalie Stutzmann 4810062

Stutzmann performs as soloist and director, imbuing these accounts with personality and vision. Her contralto is distinctive -- at once voluptuous and androgynous, with an impressively wide range and sure technique . . . Stutzmann really captures the sublime quality of Bach's sacred music, and the instrumentalists of Orfeo 55 shape the contours and paint the colours of his counterpoint with eloquent grace. The pristine recording throws the details into high relief.
